2. To markets, and the ASX took off yesterday, posting its biggest one-day gain for four months led by banks and the big miners. And June SPI Futures are upbeat about a solid start again today, up 13 points, after the bulls took charge of US markets again overnight. Strong trade and consumer confidence data was behind all that. Iron ore climbed back off the canvas and the Aussie dollar fell below 76 cents, but is heading back up again now.

6. The F-35 has been putting its pilots in a moshpit, whether they like it or not:

That problem with the F-35C – the Navy variant – was first noted in January, and there were many reports that taller pilots especially were in danger of seriously injuring their necks. At the very least, no one could read flight-critical data on their $400,000 helmet visors. Now the US Navy will trial a fix, and it doesn’t sound convincing.

That kid what was in Avengers: Civil War has his own movie out in July and here we see his new suit, lots of Iron Man, a spidey drone, Michael Keaton, him having to turn in his suit, stitching a whole ship back together with spidey webs, and some overweight comic relief. Jolly good show:

9. You probably don’t live in Seattle. But if you did, you could order your groceries online with Amazon, and pick them up at a drive-through 15 minutes later. Maybe one day we’ll see it here in Australia. Here’s how it works.

10. Facebook’s Snapchat makeover is now complete. After replicating Snapchat’s Stories in Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, Facebook will now release Stories in its main mobile app, and call it… Facebook Stories. Cue bleating from everyone who forgot how Facebook ignored all the social network copycats – including Snapchat – back when it launched and just got on being better than all of them at its own game. Snapchat’s stock price sank.
